,
, “Previously, the CIO had requested President Yoon to appear for investigation at 10 AM today, but he did not appear. Following his refusal to cooperate the previous day, it is reported that he maintained that he had said enough during the first day’s investigation.”,
,
, ‘Regarding questions from reporters about whether the detention warrant for President Yoon would be filed at the Seoul Western District Court, the CIO official said, “I understand it’s not at a confirmed stage, but the possibility is high,” adding, “We typically file at the court which issued the arrest warrant.”‘,
,
, ‘The CIO intends to continue the investigation against President Yoon if a detention warrant is issued. To this end, they received investigation reports from the prosecution the previous day involving five military commanders, including former Martial Law Commander and Army Chief of Staff Park Ahn-soo, who were involved in an emergency military rule.’,
,
, ‘The CIO has agreed with the prosecution to split the 20-day detention period for investigation in half but stated they could readjust the timeline through further coordination if needed. The CIO official explained, “(The investigation period) can change depending on the situation.”‘,
,
, ‘Meanwhile, the initial arrest period for President Yoon was until 10:33 AM on the 17th, but it was extended to 9:05 PM that day due to the 10 hours and 32 minutes spent on reviewing the validity of the arrest.’,
